The next morning, Liu Nanfeng woke up feeling refreshed.
It was likely due to the two-hundred-year-old ginseng from Su Jinxiu, whose medicinal effects had been fully absorbed by him, leaving him energetic.
The world seemed more vibrant and clearer to him.
Taking a deep breath, he sat up and saw Su Jinxiu standing by the window, her back to him.
"You're awake?" Su Jinxiu turned around upon hearing the movement.
Sunlight filtered through the window, casting an alluring silhouette through her silk pajamas, visible yet veiled.
Liu Nanfeng swallowed and then got out of bed, walked behind her, embraced her, and whispered in her ear, "Wife, I want breakfast."
"Tch..."
Su Jinxiu was about to refuse, but Liu Nanfeng had already begun his feast. What could she do?
Su Huamei, who was making breakfast in the kitchen, paused and listened. Her cheeks flushed, and she grumbled in dissatisfaction, scooping a spoonful of salt into the pancake batter.
...
When Liu Nanfeng emerged after his shower, Su Jinxiu and Su Huamei were already eating breakfast.
"Sit down quickly and eat. It won't be as good once it gets cold."
Seeing Liu Nanfeng, Su Huamei enthusiastically called out.
"Egg pancakes for breakfast." Liu Nanfeng sat in his seat.
Su Jinxiu was beside him. She had showered first, and her wet hair was coiled on her head.
Su Huamei sat opposite him. She had finished her breakfast and was drinking milk. Seeing Liu Nanfeng sit down, she immediately pushed the milk next to her towards him.
"I know you have a big appetite, so I made some for you."
Liu Nanfeng counted roughly, about ten pancakes, with a few fried sausages beside them.
He picked up the top pancake with his chopsticks and popped it into his mouth.
"How is it? Delicious?" Su Huamei asked with a playful smile.
As soon as she spoke, Su Jinxiu glanced at her, then at Liu Nanfeng's plate, but ultimately remained silent.
Liu Nanfeng, oblivious, nodded and praised, "It tastes good."
"Your taste is a bit heavy, so I was afraid it would be too bland, thus I added some chili sauce. It's tastier this way."
"Thank you," Liu Nanfeng said.
He then picked up another pancake, put it in his mouth, and devoured them one by one, a speed that even Su Jinxiu and Su Huamei found remarkable.
"Be careful not to choke," Su Jinxiu gently patted his back.
In reality, Liu Nanfeng wouldn't choke. His digestive system was comparable to that of a mythical beast, with stomach acid like strong sulfuric acid, dissolving anything directly and converting it into energy for his body.
"It's fine, this is nothing." Liu Nanfeng rolled another pancake into his mouth, but then his expression changed dramatically.
The saltiness was expected, but a spicy kick shot straight to the top of his head. The taste was incredibly pungent and refreshing, causing his tear ducts to uncontrollably flow.
Su Jinxiu withdrew her hand from Liu Nanfeng's back at the opportune moment and subtly signaled "ok" to Su Huamei, who was sitting opposite him.
Without her cooperation to distract Liu Nanfeng, Su Huamei might not have succeeded. After all, Liu Nanfeng's sense of smell was quite keen. The moment he picked up the egg pancake, he would have smelled the mustard.
"You little thing, how much salt and mustard did you put in?"
Liu Nanfeng grabbed a tissue, continuously wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes. Due to the overall physical enhancement, his sense of taste had naturally become more sensitive. This sudden double-pungent assault made his entire being feel as if his soul had left his body.
Seeing Liu Nanfeng's miserable state, Su Huamei felt a pang of concern. She said reproachfully, "Even like this, you don't spit it out? You still eat it?"
"That would be such a waste. It's all the same once it's in my stomach."
Despite his words, Liu Nanfeng felt a burning sensation in his stomach.
"You really are something. Why would you tease your brother-in-law like this so early in the morning? Have some milk to ease it."
Su Jinxiu picked up the milk from the table and handed it to Liu Nanfeng, her eyes full of tenderness.
Liu Nanfeng then remembered the milk and took several large gulps. It did provide considerable relief.
After a long sigh, he said to Su Jinxiu, "Wife, you're so good to me."
"Of course, otherwise, how could I be your wife?"
Su Huamei: [○･｀Д´･○]
She felt like hitting someone. At that moment, she felt her good sister was being manipulative. Was this still her good sister?
But no matter what, she had lost.
She glanced at Su Jinxiu, meeting her triumphant gaze. A faint smile played on her lips.
"I'm full," Su Huamei stood up, sulking.
"You're not eating anymore? Then give it to me, don't waste it." Liu Nanfeng pulled Su Huamei's unfinished plate towards him.
Seeing that he didn't dislike it at all, Su Huamei felt slightly better.
But at that moment, Su Jinxiu beside him said, "Husband, I can't eat anymore either. You eat it for me."
"Alright." Liu Nanfeng wouldn't refuse.
Su Huamei was furious. Was she deliberately antagonizing her?
But just then, Liu Nanfeng asked, "The pancakes below, did you not put mustard in them anymore?"
"No—yes."
Su Huamei, still angry, was about to loudly say no, but upon seeing Liu Nanfeng's gaze, she reacted and immediately lowered her voice.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She turned and stomped back into her room.
"Huh? What's wrong with her? I didn't offend her early this morning, did I?" Liu Nanfeng asked Su Jinxiu beside him, looking puzzled.
"Heh heh..." Su Jinxiu chuckled, covering her mouth lightly.
"It's fine, she's just being childish. She'll be fine in a while."
Hearing her words, Liu Nanfeng didn't press further and continued eating his breakfast.
"I'll get you another cup of milk."
Saying this, she picked up Liu Nanfeng's empty cup and walked towards the kitchen.
"Oh, right, Hong Jin will be coming over today."
Liu Nanfeng glanced at Mo Yu, who was lying on the sofa. It had its eyes closed, lazily flicking its tail.
"Is that so? Isn't she afraid of Mo Yu anymore?" Su Jinxiu came out with a cup of milk.
"She said she's bringing weapons today. Judging by her proud look, they must be formidable."
"Hahaha..."
Upon hearing this, Su Jinxiu couldn't help but laugh, thinking of the little one's adorable appearance.
She placed the cup in front of Liu Nanfeng and said, "I'm going to change."
She turned and returned to her room.
As soon as she entered, she saw Su Huamei come out of her room again and sit opposite Liu Nanfeng, saying pitifully, "I'm sorry."
Seeing her like this, Liu Nanfeng smiled.
"I'm not blaming you, why apologize?"
"Husband, you're so good." Su Huamei's spirits lifted upon hearing this.
"Be careful your sister hears you, she'll lecture you again."
"I'm not afraid of her. I'll just call you, Husband, Husband..."
"Alright, but why were you angry earlier this morning?" Liu Nanfeng asked, still a bit curious.
"It's because you were like this with my sister this morning." Su Huamei gestured with her hand.
"I was jealous."
"Uh..."
"I'll be waiting for you tonight," Su Huamei suddenly stood up, leaned over the table, and whispered in his ear.
Her slender legs, pert buttocks, and the slender waist she could encircle with her hands formed a perfect and alluring curve.
Was she offering a late-night snack?
But he had a feeling that Su Jinxiu would invite him to dinner tonight.
If this continued, he felt he might not be able to handle it.
